Bliss didn't blush this time. He too was nervously scanning their surroundings, feeling the water pouches over his back and ready to use them. "There it is." Happy said. "The old portal." There was a clearing with a single stone in the middle, cracked from age. "It would probably been lost a long time ago if the plants had had a chance to cover it up."

Noticing how attentive Bliss was helped ease the sense of vulnerability. They might be in dangerous areas, but at least they had each other. She remembered that she'd basically have nothing to defend herself with as she really couldn't use the water. She remembered them saying that her breath wouldn't really work out here. That the air would feel weird. She tested it by breathing in, trying to make a slight breeze towards her face or anything.

The wind Yuki tried to summon touched her face gently, but instead of refreshing it smelled old and moldy and it lingered instead of blowing away. "How do we open it?" Venti asked Happy. "Well." Happy sat down as she started. "Blue dragons have the closest link to the Dragon Tears and green dragons share the same healing attributes, as well as the opposite. So maybe you and Bliss can help Yuki. Too bad you didn't bring along a black dragon since they might have help us figure this out. Ultimately though it's going to depend on what Yuki wants to do."

Yuki shook her head lightly and rubbed at her snout with the back of her claw before looking up, "Wha? Oh, I just want the entrance to open and for us to be safe. Not sure how me just wanting it will make it happen though."

"Because you're both from this world and your world it's like an instinct, connecting you between them." Happy tried to explain, although she didn't know much about it either. "And the Dragon Tear's a part of you, so it'll help to make your wish come true. To stay here as a dragon by sharing your life with Bliss and mine. And then it will be up to the Dragon Tear what happens to me or at least my feelings. Or something like that. Kinda like how magic is just a natural part of dragons rather than trying to cast a spell, like how you use your dragon breath."

"Well. I'm certain of what I want. Where do we go from here?" Yuki asked, trying to stand a little taller.

"I don't know." Happy said with what maybe looked like an awkward smile, at least a little more awkward than her normal smile. "I guess try to summon the portal." "I'll help." Bliss said moving towards the rock. Lance moved so fast and fluid that the rest completely missed him pulling out his lance and only saw as it was blocked by the Wraith. It tried to sneak up on them from the trees and if Lance wasn't paying attention it might have succeeded. "Get back!" Lance ordered the others. Surprised Venti stumbled back, but fell over her own feet.

Yuki was filed with an unearthly fear when she saw and heard the wraith, and panic started to set in when Lance began yelling. She wanted nothing more than for her and her friends to get in. She was getting ready to run headlong into the rock when Venti fell over. Thought faded and instinct took over and she ran to the green dragons side. She'd taken a deep breath and blew with all the intention of a hurricane blowing the wraith away. She didn't even know if it would work, but then she wasn't exactly thinking things through either.

Yuki's breath worked, mostly. A strong wind shot out of her mouth and dust and ashes were blown up and hit the Wraith. Unfortunately it also hit Lance and threw him off balance enough so that he had to step back from the monster. "Stop that!" Lance yelled. "Get back! I can't use my fire breath if we're bunched up like this. Bliss! Get your water out!" Bliss was rushing over to Yuki and Venti when Lance' command stopped him and he remembered the water on his back. His tail opened up as he started to summon the water. The dust didn't slow the Wraith down by much though and it's thin arm shot out hitting the spear out of Lance' claws. It's second hand came around with a knife aimed at Lance, but was stopped short by Happy as she grabbed the Wraith's arm with her jaws. "I've got him!" She said through her grip, although with her in the way neither Lance nor Bliss could attack the Wraith.

By this point, Yuki wanted nothing more then to get away, the thread of an untimely demise forever on her mind. She went with plan A and ran into the rock, pushing against it to both claws.

"Let go of him! You're in my way!" Lance told Happy when he regained his balance. "I can't." Happy told him and he saw that the Wraith had grabbed onto the Skull Dragon with his free arm and was using her as shield to stop them attacking. Lance looked around for where his spear had fallen. Venti got back on to her feet and after accessing the situation ran towards Yuki and pulled her away from the rock. "Use your breath again!" She told her.

Yuki wasn't sure why but wasn't able argue either. She took as deep a breath as possible, trying for the most powerful breath she could muster and blew it, trying to only hit the wraith this time.

This time her aim was truer and just enough for the Wraith to loosen it grip and give Happy a chance to escape. Lance was also ready when he heard Yuki use her breath and dug in his claws to keep his balance. Afterwards he grabbed Happy and puller her towards Yuki and Venti and out of the way. "Now Bliss! Do it now!" Bliss absorbed the water and breathed it out in a large stream that hit the Wraith like a cannon and it melted away like mud.

Yuki was almost to tears with panic, and though her eyes burned she couldn't look away from the sludge. Her breath was also so erratic she couldn't form words and was simple breathing heavy.

"Are you alright?" Venti asked Yuki, putting a claw on her shoulder. There was blur from the opposite side of the forest and another Wraith appeared, as if it had waited for just this moment when their guard was down. It came up behind Bliss, who was standing away from the others, with alarming speed. "Bliss!" Lance yelled. At the same time Happy grabbed one of the sacks of water on Venti's back, tore it off and hurled it at the approaching Wraith. Water poured from it and hit the Wraith square in the face and it let out an agonizing scream. The next thing to hit the Wraith was Lance who pinned it to the ground and in one breath covered the Wraith, himself and everything around him in a pillar of fire. It was a fearsome site of devastation and when the fire died down there was nothing around Lance, not the Wraith, not any trees that was close enough to get caught int the fire and not even stones on the ground. Everything happened in just a few seconds before Bliss even realized in how much danger he was. Lance spun around and looked at the Skull Dragon. "Happy!" He shouted and rushed towards her. Water had splashed over her as she threw the bag and her lower jaw and parts of her chest ribs were already starting to melt.

As Yuki saw the seen unfold, her whole emotional spectrum faded to a blackness that filled her chest, clammed her throat, and burned her eyes. She started crying as even her questions of what to do and where to go and how she was supposed to help faded to the darkness and her only will was for this to all be over and her friends safe.

"Venti! We've got to help her!" Lance pleaded. "I can't heal her, it would kill her." Venti answered, also on the verge of tears. Happy tried to speak, but her voice was gone with her jaw. There came a pounding in Yuki's chest. The Dragon Tear was responding to her emotions and what it was implying was clear. They had to open the portal. The Tear needed Bliss' help and the two of them together needed to open the portal. Right now.

Yuki was without words. She felt she'd break down completely at the first utterance. Instead she reached out for Bliss, grabbing him by his wrist pulling his claw to her chest. Somehow, she hoped he could feel the same pounding she could feel and it would convey the message for her. She didn't feel up to it.

At first Bliss was surprised, but as the pulse of the tear continued to sound through Yuki he realized what she wanted. He closed his eyes to clear his mind as best he could and breathed out. A light blue mist flowed from his mouth and surrounded Yuki, circling around her before moving of to the rock, faster and faster, traveling in a circle until a glowing blue portal stood next to them.

Yuki held tight to Bliss' hand and pulled him towards the portal before looking to the others. She still didn't feel quite up to speaking, but managed a weak "guys" though they might not have even heard her.

Venti looked over to Yuki and nodded. "We have to get her over to the portal! Help my Lance!" She ordered and grabbed onto Happy. Lance quickly followed suit and the two of them brought Happy next to Bliss and Yuki. There was a sudden weight pushing down on Yuki as she started to glow the same color as the portal and then the weight lifted as the glow surrounded Happy and Bliss. Happy was lifted up and floated towards the portal. It felt like it lasted forever before she touched the blue glow and then everything sped up and happened so fast that it was hard to keep track of it all. Yuki stepped out in front of herself, at least it looked like a ghost of her human self. Happy was pulled into the portal and everything twisted around until the bones were gone and a small black dragon was left in her place, although not like the dragons that Yuki had gotten used to but a regular looking dragon one tail instead of two. A blue thread left Bliss and wrapped itself around Yuki and got sucked into the portal. The vision in the portal split in two between Happy and Yuki's home world. As Happy got twisted again Yuki's world showed the library where she got send to this world and then there was a room she didn't know and a man she did know. The man that gave her the book. He spun around and looked right at her, his eyes completely black, but there was no doubt that he could see her. Then the vision of her world shattered like a mirror. The ghost Yuki recoiled in pain as her body transformed, her skin changed form and wings grew out of her back, her hands turned to claws and her face stretched out until the Yuki she was now stood before her. The vision of Yuki's world finally shattered and vanished. Happy was also gone, an egg left in her place. Before that vision also disappeared it showed a world filled with colorful ponies. Yuki's ghost pulled back into her, the thread coming from Bliss stopped and the portal shrank into a single tear that fell on the rock below it. And everything returned to the dead, silent landscape where Lance and Venti waited for them.

Yuki felt feint and nearly fell over before catching herself. She looked through groggy eyes at the tear on the ground. She was lost for a moment in her own thoughts before she looked to Bliss, a weak smile attempting to hide the melancholy that washed over her heart and the exhaustion that loomed over her body. "We should get home." She said finally, looking back to where the portal used to be. "Home." she said, quieter this time. Tasting the word and finding it sweet but distant. Emotionally drained, home was now all she could think of.

Bliss reached out and held on to Yuki when he saw he fatigued she was, although he also did it to keep his own balance. "Yeah, let's go home." He told her. "Happy." Lance asked stepping up to them. "Will she be alright?"

Yuki looked up, "I don't know where she was sent, but it looked bright and happy. I think she'll fit in just fine." Yuki said.

Lance nodded his thanks and walked off to pick up his spear. Venti walked up to Bliss and Yuki and blew a green cloud over them. They immediately started to feel better and regained a bit of strength, at least physically anyway. "We'll stop at the Skull Dragons before heading back to the Ridge. Tell them that Happy will be alright." She said. "How about you two? Are you going to be alright?"

"Thanks. I think we'll be alright." Yuki said and turned to Bliss, "I guess I should say both sorry and thank you. Not sure which." She said giving him a big hug.

"There's nothing for you to be sorry about." Bliss told her and returned the hug. Venti smiled and walked over to Lance to give the two a moment alone. "You don't have to feel uneasy anymore." Bliss told Yuki. "This is now your world and you're a dragon just like us."

"But like you said, I've got a lot to learn." Yuki said with a small laugh, "Come on, let's not keep them waiting." She said pulling back from the hug.

Bliss nodded and followed Yuki over to the others. "Finally ready?" Venti smiled as they started back. "So are you going keep Yuki as your name or use Snow instead?"

"I don't know. What do you think Lance? Is Yuki too weird?" She asked, thinking mostly about fitting in now.
